Euro: SF: England v Denmark, 7/7/2021

[All Mod Cons]

England at home. UEFA and the refs have already ensured they went to the finals. Why stop there. I fully expect Bonucci or Chiellini to get red card with another dive leading to a PK for England.

Proper Lolz

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Just do everyone a favor. Miss it. And f*** off. Happy days. You're happy. We're happy. Everyone's happy.

I am hoping Sunday has great weather so I have something better to do than watching a final that does not interest me.

 

[Jussi]

It was so clumsy it didn't touch him.

It clearly did.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Proud of the boys.

They played well the first 70 mins.

Some weird subs from Hjulmand.
And a clearly tired Danish team after the fight in Baku.

Hard to do anything with 10 against 11 in the 2nd ot half.

I will cheer with all my heart for the lesser of two evils on Sunday.

 

[Circus86]

He didn't even notice it though. They just showed it on Finnish tv.

Yes he did. He looked at his shirt right before the penalty. Still a shitty thing to do noneseless.

 

[Evilo]

I've had money on Italy since the start of the tournament. Also have money on Phoenix in the NBA. Looking good so far

I'll pull for both or your bets

 

[All Mod Cons]

I am hoping Sunday has great weather so I have something better to do than watching a final that does not interest me.

I'm hoping you f*** off regardless of the weather. In door bowling, a movie, time with the kids, cleaning. There's so.many options.

 

[Tmu84]

I hated the penalty kick, not deserved and definetely a dive. But in the end,
Shots on goal 21-6 in favour of England , shots that hit on goal 10-3 in favour of England. So the better team moved on, the Danes were just too gassed.

Team Denmark can definetely still feel proud of themselves for putting up such a good fight.

Biggest disappointment of the day : there definetely was more diving in team England than for Italy yesterday. I hope the referee is the same one from Italy - Spain game, so at least such gross diving wouldn't be tolerated on Sunday...

 

[QuietContrarian]

It clearly did.

It f***ing grazed him.

It was a weak call.

 

[bluesfan94]

It clearly did.

It quite obviously didn't. I know you're stupidly homeristic with United, but why are you going to bat this hard for a team of a different nationality?

 

[Evilo]

Italy vs Brazil, now, that would be quite the mind f***

I think England has set some proper standards. Kane is up there with the best.

 

[bluesfan94]

I'll pull for both or your bets

Given what happened to France, this feels like it might be the kiss of death

 

[PromisedLand]

chicken cacciatore over fish&chips
Lasagna over shepherds pie

Italy over England

Thanks!

 

[NyQuil]

Italy definitely looked like the strongest side from the beginning of the tourney.

England is going to have their work cut out for them.

 

[Eisen]

England got robbed when they scored a goal
Against Germany and crossed over line and wasn't counted. There are countless bad calls in soccer history where a game was decided. Hand of God etc. Move on.

Red card against Beckham in 98. That ref was bought.

 

[hatterson]

Sterling knew exactly what he was doing. He knew the defenders were closing in and was going down with even the slightest amount of contact.

The Danish player brushed him ever so slightly, Sterling flopped/dove, the ref got conned, and (because there *was* a tiny amount of contact) VAR decided it wasn't a "clear and obvious" error.

 

[Jussi]

Yes he did. He looked at his shirt right before the penalty. Still a shitty thing to do noneseless.

No he didn't. Even the studio analysts on Finnish tv commented that he didn't even notice it. Not saying it's ok by any means but he didn't even notice it. And he saved the penalty!

 

[Evilo]

Given what happened to France, this feels like it might be the kiss of death

Haha, shit happens.

 

[Ezekial]

He was falling before contact was made.

 

[Moncherry]

Also that penalty was a total dive even if there was a little contact, and it's ridiculous that VAR didn't make the ref take a look at it.

 

[Power Man]

Kane looking like an Italian based player from the 90's out there, my God.

to be fair the 1990 WC Italian team was fun to watch

 

[LOFIN]

One thing I do like, is that maybe we can finally get rid of the "Diving Italianos" and "Proper Englishmen" of what I grew up with. It's the exact opposite now.

 

[Evilo]

No he didn't. Even the studio analysts on Finnish tv commented that he didn't even notice it.

I don't know why in every thread you come up with "even the finish tv studio analysts said X".
Are they God or what?
I can give you plenty of french TV analysts who say a lot of crap. Finish analysts must be amazing.

 

[AlanHUK]

Soft penalty, but there was a more obvious one missed during normal time. Also not as soft as the one Belgium got previously so the standard was set earlier in the tournament.

Free kick Denmark scored from was also soft.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

The dishonest triumph again. Hopefully, somehow, both teams end up losing the final on Sunday.
